Positively charged particles X and Y are initially far away from each other and at rest. X begins to move towards Y with some initial velocity. The total momentum and energy of the system are p and E respectively. Which of the following statement is correct?
1. If Y is fixed, both p and E are conserved.
2. If Y is fixed, E is conserved, but not p.
3. If both are free to move, p is conserved but not E.
4. If both are free, E is conserved, but not p.
